This Deadlock tier list breaks down who are the best heroes for you and your team to take into Valve’s MOBA.

Deadlock has loads of heroes you can pick from. Each comes with a unique set of abilities that top players can master. Of course, as video games go, some characters shine brighter than others. That's why we made you this Deadlock tier list to showcase which heroes are the best.

We've separated the heroes from S-Tier to D-Tier. You won't find any F-Tier, because we believe all characters have value in the right hands. They just need more love than others. So, let's take a look so you know who to put on your priority list in queue.

The S-Tier of this Deadlock hero tier list holds the best of the best. These are the characters you want to play and get good with. They're deadly in anyone's hands.

  • Seven
  • Bebop
  • Haze
  • Warden

From abilities to survivability in a battle, these four are the best you'll find in the game. They are all so different, as well, giving us a good mix of playstyles that can dominate. From Seven's electricity and Bebop's up close strikes to Haze's trickiness and Warden's in your face damage.

A-Tier

The A-Tier is packed. With over 20 heroes in Deadlock, it is hard to find a long list of characters that just simply aren't worth it. And while they aren't quite S-Tier, just a few tweaks from Valve could change that.

There are too many to go over here, but the likes of Abrams, Dynamo, Pocket, and Lady Geist are incredible heroes of Deadlock. They require a good build to be as effective as possible, but all of these heroes can hold their own.

B-Tier

In the B-Tier of this Deadlock tier list, you'll find some serviceable heroes. They've got a lot of good qualities, but are overshadowed by the superstar gameplay those in the S and A-Tiers can provide.

Mirage is the 22nd hero added to Deadlock, and may become one of the best some day. Until then, he falls here alongside the others. They each have great abilities that can damage or support. But each is easily countered by some S and A-Tier characters.

C-Tier

In the C-Tier, you've got a few underdogs. Make them work and you'll be the player of the game. Leave them be if you aren't confident, however.

  • Yamato
  • Infernus
  • Mo and Krill

Yamato, Infernus, and Mo and Krill are kind of gimmicky. You can chip away at your enemies with them, but unless you've got the best build imaginable, they're hardly useful on their own. Their base attacks aren't that great either.

D-Tier

You've got to be a major fan of these heroes to take them into a game of Deadlock. They're in the D-Tier for a reason. Unless you're the best around, you won't get anywhere with them.

Vindicta and Paradox aren't great. Their abilities leave plenty to be desired, as they are both centered around mobility. With traps available from some of the other heroes and slowing mechanics, these two's fragility is hard to handle.
